I share the translated quote that they have chosen for the frontpage, for people that just read the comments:
> There are no “final words”, no “conclusions” in Récoltes et Semailles, any more than there are in my life, or in yours. There is a wine, aged for a lifetime in the barrels of my being. The last drink you drink will not be better than the first or the hundredth. They are all “the same”, and they are all different.

- youoy 2y agoFair point. I mean, if you compare any philosophical statement against a mathematical one, the philosophical one is always going to be almost empty in comparison :)
